She has faith that Yah will heal her.
Maybe He will, maybe not. But be careful about interfering with someone’s faith.
A lot of times Doctors cut people open and force pills down their throats so not everything is such a blessing.

My personal opinion is that the heads of households are to lay hands on their own family and call forth healing, but when he needs healing he has to go to someone with more authority than his own. His family (wife/wives) don’t have it.One of the roles of the elders is to lay hands on those who need healing. If they confess any sins, and submit to the Word, and call for the elders, then the elders should be willing to come and heal. I've never once heard anyone except a pentacostal even attempt such a thing, and pretty sure that was just for show with that group... But the elders were supposed to be pillars of the community, and instead they seem to be left in nursing homes to die. We get young "doctors" whose worldview is purely physical, and they can never help the root cause of much sickness, which is sin. They can't stop the many diseases associated with homosexuality, promiscuity, and the rebel diet of eating all the things Yah says are not food.
Interesting that good judgement is needed by an elder before he goes to lay hands on a sick person, as to whether repentance has occurred.
Our Torah-observant 'messianic' fellowship in the Colorado Front Range did it virtually every Sabbath.One of the roles of the elders is to lay hands on those who need healing.

I need to win first then I'll have money to waste on tickets.Old jokes:
A Scottish man prays every week that he'll win the lottery. He prays for years and years that he will win the lottery. One day in frustration he cries out to God, "Lord, why haven't I won the lottery?"
The heavens opened up and the booming voice of God said, "You have to buy a lottery ticket ya' cheap Scot!"
I'd wondered if the 'charismatics' of Torah Observant communities would be doing such. I'm glad to not be disappointed. There's 8 of us brothers in Lynchburg now that I know of, and I'm trying really hard to bring them all together for assembly. I can see all the blessings promised to His set apart people if they should gather in His name (How one does that without saying His name, I've no clue. ) and I want those blessings! Not just for me, but my brothers, and their families also. Must admit, it is hard to bring unity, when you are a newcomer to Torah, and all these other folks have dug trenches and battle lines over dumb crap... But three days ago, it was 3 groups of 2 men and some stragglers without community. And yesterday and today brought me face to face with these fractured elements. I know full well I don't yet meet elder qualifications, so I can't head up this assembly, but I sure can get the motivation up to actually assemble together! I want my brothers together on a team! Unity! To be united as He is Echad!Our Torah-observant 'messianic' fellowship in the Colorado Front Range did it virtually every Sabbath.

That's only a TINY part of what has yet to be "re-discovered', DS.I'm kinda sad we are having to re-discover even the basics of the Biblical judiciary after so long.
Arbitrage is method of solving dispute. It is alternative to using formal court system.Is this arbitration a means of ketubah/marriage then? A man may enter contract with the dad of a daughter, or an independent woman, saying she and he won't use secular courts but a third party panel to handle any dispute which may involve dissolution of the marriage? Then the contract may specify conduct and roles in the relationship, which may differ greatly from the host nation's marriage systems. Mainly, that patriarchal headship element.
Then, those judges/arbiters would judge based on the LAW set forth by the covenant of marriage between man and woman. That way judges could judge regardless of TK or not to some degree. Even a secular lawyer could judge such a limited scope form of law.
I'm against elitism. I'm just saying that elite (people best in something) will always exist. Who are theologians, but elite in knowing theology? Same for mathematicians for math, historians for history etc....Let me be clear, I'm not sure about democracy. I'm not sure about elitism, neither. But I am certain that what I said about appointing judges is in scriptiure. There is a pretty clear method for doing so prescribed. Let me see if I can provide one instance of it:
https://www.biblestudytools.com/esv/deuteronomy/16-18.html
"You shall appoint judges and officers in all your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the LORD your God is giving you."
Deut 16:18-20
Sooooo, not sure where the mind reading of "democracy" came into it, as this is far more serious. Probably the men over their homes and elders in the community appointed judges to stand in the gates and judge matters. Not sure I said anything out of scope from just assuring we follow biblical principles. This is about Biblical Family structure, and elders are part of that. Simple wisdom says to listen to elders.
Not eveything is better.Just saying that modern things and modern knowledge are sometimes better than the understandings of 4000 years ago.
Like if someone wants to come at me with a sword then go for it. The result will be very predictable for me.
And what if you have a boil on your skin? Do you want to lance it and then treat it with antibiotics or do you want to do as Isaiah advised in Isaiah 38:21?
“Let them take a cake of figs and apply it to the boil, that he may recover.” I'm sure this was good advice in Isaiah's time.
The fundamental problem with any court is that they exist to enact law made by the government. They can therefore never rule against the government (ultimately, sometimes they will rule against inconsistencies in the law and show that a new law is incompatible with an old one, but they're still ruling for the government).Good articles about US court sydtem today:

I'm kinda sad we are having to re-discover even the basics of the Biblical judiciary after so long.
In the USA you have a constitution, which in theory the court is supposed to hold as higher law above the government - but in reality it too is just a government-made law and can be amended at will. The court is still just implementing what the government says, and gives no real defence against the government.
At least the change wasn't made in haste.The last Amendment to be ratified in this process was the 27th Amendment. It was proposed on September 25, 1789 and passed on May 5, 1992.
That's 202 years plus 223 days to amend the Constitution at will.
